Adobe Animate

[tuckers86148949]

Hello,

I’m a high school student and I have recently become interested in adobe animate. An exchange school I visited had adobe flash professional Cs5.5, which I know used to be available for a one time purchase. My question is, can I buy either adobe animate cc or a later version for a one time purchase? I would love to animate, but I don’t earn enough money at my part time job to be able to afford the monthly or yearly subscription.

Thanks for your help!

no.  flash cs6 and all the animate versions are available by subscription (to animate cc) only, https://creative.adobe.com/plans

because you're a student, you can use the student discount.

An excellent alternative for any poor animation student would be OpenToonz. Open source production-level 2d animation software, and completely free. Get the latest build here: https://github.com/opentoonz/opentoonz_nightlies/releases

This will allow you to learn to animate, and prevent driving up your monthly spending.
